IPL 2024: LSG vs CSK Live Score – Lucknow Ready for MS Dhoni Special, but Loyalty Remains with KL Rahul

IPL 2024: LSG vs CSK Live Score – Lucknow Ready for MS Dhoni Special, but Loyalty Remains with KL Rahul

The LSG vs CSK play this Friday at home in Ekana Stadium. There is a minimal chance of a comeback after the team’s flaws were exposed after two straight losses. CSK turned things around and won their next two games to resurrect their campaign and climb to third in the standings after dropping their opening two games. LSG is fully aware that a mistake now might hurt their prospects of making it to the postseason.

No team has reached the 200 mark in the three games that have taken place at this location. Furthermore, against the Delhi Capitals, LSG has successfully protected scores of 199 and 163 but has failed to defend 167. Their ability to hold teams to scores of 160 or more does not, however, excuse them from their batting shortcomings, as their top order has failed to produce. Quinton de Kock has not performed well at bat since his return; captain KL Rahul has struggled to turn around the bat; the No. 3 spot is a worry; and Marcus Stoinis appears to be acting strangely. Nicholas Pooran bears the brunt of middle-order failure most of the time.

Of all the teams this season, LSG’s scoring rate during the powerplay and the final overs is the lowest. It would become difficult for the LSG hitters to contend with the strong bowling assault of CSK if they were unable to close these gaps. Since Ruturaj Gaikwad is playing well at the top and Shivam Dube is in form to handle the middle overs, CSK’s batting problems are not as serious as LSG’s. Ajinkya Rahane and Rachin Ravindra would have preferred for CSK to start the game. Given his solid bowling record against the LSG, Moeen Ali might be on the team from Chennai to take Daryl Mitchell’s spot, who is having a difficult time.

Should Mayank Yadav make a comeback for the match, it will be a huge advantage for LSG to play at home. Conversely, Devon Conway has been declared ineligible for the 2024 Indian Premier League, and CSK has signed Richard Gleeson in his place. Red soil, which was utilized in the encounter between LSG and Punjab Kings, where LSG successfully defended 199, will be the playing surface for this match. The surface should help with batting and quicks; thus, CSK would be glad to use their two most experienced pacers, Mustafizur Rahman and Shardul Thakur, with help from Tushar Deshpande.
